Ed Maste 3e01ee76f2 lorder: add note that it is no longer required
Use of lorder(1) is not required by contemporary linkers.

The GNU coreutils manual[1] has a good description of the use of lorder
and tsort:

    This whole procedure has been obsolete since about 1980, because
    Unix archives now contain a symbol table (traditionally built by
    ranlib, now generally built by ar itself), and the Unix linker uses
    the symbol table to effectively make multiple passes over an archive
    file.

See 0e1e341b48 for some more details.
